MAINSTREAM COOLER - For those who believe mainstream contemporary facts.

Interesting article on sub stack by Doomberg.  First part deals with reading the testimony of the Parkland medical team witnesses.

Summary excerpt from link

Quote

As the United States barrel toward a second civil war, we can’t help but view the latest assassination attempt of a major political figure in our country as an infected flare-up from a deep wound that was never allowed to heal. In the back of many Americans’ minds, they know intuitively that Kennedy was likely killed in furtherance of the insatiable demands of the military-industrial complex. When you are in the bomb-making business, peace is a working capital problem, and Kennedy’s infamous “Peace Speech” at American University—delivered just months before his murder—surely sealed his fate.

With the popular president rubbed out and the suitably corrupt Lyndon Johnson installed in his place, the spice was allowed to flow. The spice subsequently flowed in Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Iraq (twice), Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Libya, and now Ukraine. It flowed in dozens of coups in faraway places few in the US care much about. It might yet flow in the Middle East once again and in the South China Sea or the Taiwan Strait.

If you doubt our interpretation of this history, simply read Curt Gentry’s biography of J. Edgar Hoover, Robert Caro’s iconic work on Johnson, the copious official records of the Church Committee, or President Dwight Eisenhower’s farewell address. Watch JFK’s peace speech and find a single word you disagree with. Few can. Watch Colin Powell make the case at the United Nations that weapons of mass destruction existed in Iraq and find any material statement that ages well. It’s all plainly available to consume, but burying the consequences of having done so in the back of your mind will be an understandable cope.

The spice must flow, and the rest of the world correctly views US foreign policy through this lens.

The current president of the United States is suffering from serious cognitive decline, something that has been obvious to any objective observer since before the 2020 election. He is being propped up by a cabal of unelected insiders, barely able to complete a sentence in public. The citizenry has no idea who is actually in charge, but they know it is not this man. The former president and current Republican nominee came within an inch of being assassinated on live television on Saturday. Had that bullet struck its target, the resulting societal convulsions would have surely tipped the country into the abyss. A shockingly high number of people are publicly bemoaning the miss on social media, unaware of the violence they are inviting into their own lives. Should it arrive, we suspect most will be wholly unprepared for it.

Many wonder how it could be that the US finds itself in this position. We know, the Parkland medical team knows, and in the back of your mind, you know, too. The same forces that eliminated Kennedy are behind the dangerous charade we see before us now. An unbroken line of war and political farce was born on that fateful day, the latter necessary to keep the former normalized. The country has never fully dealt with the events of 1963. Unless and until it does, its survival remains in significant doubt.

Whether it still can seems vanishingly unlikely.

'Full on frontal assault on conservatism': Republicans stunned by Trump platform at RNC

by Kathleen Culliton July 17, 2024

“GOP jaws are dropping at the policy platform former President Donald Trump and his MAGA allies are presenting at the Republican National Convention, according to a new report.”

“Multiple Republicans told Politico this week they were shocked by the sudden shift toward economic populism and isolationism and away from religious and fiscal conservatism seen at the Milwaukee gathering.

"What we’re witnessing now is a full on frontal assault on conservatism,” said Marc Short, onetime chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence. “That’s an enormous departure from where our party has been and I don’t think it’s a prescription for success.””

Cracks are starting to appear. You buy into Trump and you get the MAGA crazies and the psychosis that come along with it.

Surprise!    What did you think was going to happen?

Whew! Pretty doomy Bill! I would seriously dispute that Biden is not in charge of policy and doing a good job. But he is not so much being propped up but being hidden away over the last 2 years by his unelected insiders, and it all came crashing down.

As has been brought up, he had an opportunity for a softball interview with lots of exposure before the Super Bowl, which he passed on. He finally became busy after whatever you want me to call it, I call it his "collapse "during the debate, but he took his time for over a week before the Steph interview. That whole week, all people were doing was talking about was his fitness for office.

This is now going to require a lot of energy for Biden to pull off, and will no doubt age him greatly at a time when he probably hasn't got that many years left. If he should make it to the Presidency again. You know you'll be seeing less and less of him, and the outside speculation will get worse and worse.
